Bragg  \nDATA NOTE 9 | JULY 2020  \nAs part of our research on the community college baccalaureate (CCB), we studied the prospects of adopting and scaling CCB degrees in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Higher education leaders in these six Great Lakes states recognized the potential for CCB degrees to increase academic, geographic and financial access to higher education but concerns about mission creep, program duplication, and competition with universities within their states were on their minds. All leaders thought a more in-depth approach to analyzing labor force demand for CCB degree graduates would be helpful. In response, we used federal and state datasets to estimate job vacancies and annual degree conferral and found openings in business, software development, early childhood education, and registered nursing that may hold promise for CCB degrees in one or more Great Lakes states.  \nBACKGROUND  \nWe began our study on the prospects for scaling community college baccalaureate (CCB) degrees about two years before the world was stricken with Covid-19. Since March 2020, we have seen the dire impact of the pandemic on global health and the economy. By early July, the Department of Labor (DOL) recorded 35.8 million workers were officially unemployed and receiving benefits, were approved but still waiting for benefits, or had applied and were waiting to be approved (Shierholz, 2020a) . This unemployment crisis on top of the pandemic is especially distressing for workers without bachelor’s degrees. Whereas 15% of bachelor’s holders were unemployed in May 2020, 25% of individuals with only a high school diploma and 21% of those with some college were out of work. The chance of bachelor’s holders being called back to work are twice that of workers with only a high school diploma or some college, with a majority in these two groups having no chance of being called back to a prior job (Shierholz, 2020b) .  \nFurther complicating this picture, unemployment rates during the pandemic vary dramatically by race, ethnicity and gender, with racially minoritized and female workers being hit much harder than whites and males (Carnevale & Gulish, 2020) . For example, Black and Hispanic women are experiencing unemployment rates of 25% and 30% compared to white females at 18% . Black and Hispanic males are similarly disadvantaged relative to white males, at 23% for Black males and 22% for Hispanic males compared to 14% for white males (Shierholz, 2020) . Knowing educational attainment and economic security are related to race, ethnicity and gender, it is important for states to align higher education and workforce policies during and beyond the pandemic in ways that help to close systemic inequities for racially minoritized groups.  \nThe Community College Baccalaureate (CCB) is a college completion policy that requires authorizing legislation in most states. Understanding how CCB degrees contribute to the state policy landscape during and  \n[uw. edu/cc ri](uw. edu/cc ri) 1  \nNEW BACCALAUREATE SERIES | Prospects for Scaling Community College Baccalaureates in Six Great Lakes States  \nbeyond the pandemic is important. If CCB degrees are shown to improve baccalaureate attainment among underserved populations, helping these individuals secure stable employment and living-wage earnings, it strengthens the case for state and institutional adoption and scaling of CCB degrees.  \nPROSPECTS FOR SCALING CCBS  \nCCB programs are growing, with 23 states currently authorizing community colleges to confer these degrees. Eleven of these states provide all community colleges in their state the opportunity to do so (Soler, 2019). As the number of CCBs grow across the country it is important to understand factors that contribute to scaling these degrees.
